VIK Kinderprogramm

Give your children the gift of unforgettable memories of Italy.

With Very Important Kids treat your little ones to days out they’ll love with children their own age and in their language. The range of fun activities on offer will inspire an appreciation of art, an interest in culture, a love for science and get them excited about gastronomy.

For instance, an outing to the Bargello Museum will get them thinking about art with the works of Donatello, Michelangelo and a wealth of other Italian artists while a few hours of hands-on experiments and reflections on Leonardo Da Vinci and Galileo Galilei will get them loving science. Otherwise, inspire a passion for cooking with a pizza making class in the Tuscan countryside.

Very Important Kids is a child friendly company providing safe, fun and educational activities for kids aged 4 to 16 and their families. So kids can make the most of their time in Italy too.

Pampaloni silversmiths

A day at Pampaloni’s is not just a visit to a factory: it’s an exploration of the artisan world of silver.

A factory visit like no other

Hear the sounds, breathe in the smells and soak up the history of silver. In the workshop watch the silversmiths as they chip away at their daily work, fusing, plating, chiselling and assembling and marvel at their skill, artisanship and passion.

But most importantly discover the world of the object, understand its significance, its history, design and inspiration. Get a taste of the artistry synonymous with Florence.

Bespoke gifts

Pampaloni also offers Lungarno Collection guests the opportunity to express their feelings in silver by commissioning a bespoke gift for their loved one.

Flick through the archive filled with a vast array of shapes and models, and select the one that means something to you. Alternatively provide Pampaloni with a shape and their exclusive technology will craft it for you.

Creating an unforgettable, meaningful gift that says it all.

The Pampaloni family has been master silversmiths for three generations, creating pieces for, among others, Pope Benedict XVI, the Quirinale and the Ferrari group.

Fratelli Piccini

Thousands cross Ponte Vecchio every day while each year just a handful discover its ancient secrets. Established in the 16th century, master jewellers Fratelli Piccini unlock the doors to a select few, offering two unforgettable experiences.
